Re: Snort 2.8.3 SID rule value upper bound?

[Todd Wease <twease () sourcefire com>]

Hi Geoff,

I don't believe sids greater than 2147483647 have ever been supported. 
Just did a quick check with 2.6.1.5 and looked at CVS and the code that
sets the sid uses atoi() and has never been changed.  Do you have a need
for larger sids?  If so, I believe it would be an easy fix to up this to
4294967295.
